Project Atlas
Merges Morrowind's heaviest meshes onto texture atlases to lift frame rates.
0 playing nowWhat it changes
Replaces heavy Morrowind meshes with atlased versions that cut draw calls; delivered as optional sub-packages for Wrye Mash or manual install.
About Project Atlas
Morrowind is a CPU-bound game, and much of its slowdown comes from draw calls rather than raw graphics power. Project Atlas attacks that directly. It rebuilds the UV maps of the meshes used most heavily in demanding areas and points them at shared texture atlases, so one object needs far fewer draw calls. The result is a faster game with the same look. It is delivered as a set of sub-packages, so you choose a core set, one matching atlas texture set and any optional patches. The download is a 7z archive with Wrye Mash style sub-packages, and the project's own readme gives the recommended load order against mods like Morrowind Optimization Patch and Morrowind Enhanced Textures.
Install with the PlayBound Launcher
The launcher installs this into mods/morrowind-project-atlas/ for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. If the base game is missing, it will install that first.
How to install Project Atlas
- 1
Install The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind first if you have not already — Project Atlas is an add-on and needs the base game.
